• Abstract summary: We present a performance evaluation of deep learning models for representing out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words. Although the best technique for handling OOV words is different for each task, Comick, a deep learning method that infers the embedding based on the context and the morphological structure of the OOV word, obtained promising results.

• Abstract: Communication has become increasingly dynamic with the popularization of social networks and applications that allow people to express themselves and communicate instantly. In this scenario, distributed representation models have their quality impacted by new words that appear frequently or that are derived from spelling errors. These words that are unknown by the models, known as out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words, need to be properly handled to not degrade the quality of the natural language processing (NLP) applications, which depend on the appropriate vector representation of the texts. To better understand this problem and finding the best techniques to handle OOV words, in this study, we present a comprehensive performance evaluation of deep learning models for representing OOV words. We performed an intrinsic evaluation using a benchmark dataset and an extrinsic evaluation using different NLP tasks: text categorization, named entity recognition, and part-of-speech tagging. Although the results indicated that the best technique for handling OOV words is different for each task, Comick, a deep learning method that infers the embedding based on the context and the morphological structure of the OOV word, obtained promising results.

• Morphological evaluation of subwords vocabulary used by BETO language model [0.1638581561083717]
  Subword tokenization algorithms are more efficient and can independently build the necessary vocabulary of words and subwords without human intervention. In previous research, we proposed a method to assess the morphological quality of vocabularies, focusing on the overlap between these vocabularies and the morphemes of a given language. By applying this method to vocabularies created by three subword tokenization algorithms, BPE, Wordpiece, and Unigram, we concluded that these vocabularies generally exhibit very low morphological quality. This evaluation helps clarify the algorithm used by the tokenizer, that is, Wordpiece, given the inconsistencies between the authors' claims

• A Unified Understanding of Deep NLP Models for Text Classification [88.35418976241057]
  We have developed a visual analysis tool, DeepNLPVis, to enable a unified understanding of NLP models for text classification. The key idea is a mutual information-based measure, which provides quantitative explanations on how each layer of a model maintains the information of input words in a sample. A multi-level visualization, which consists of a corpus-level, a sample-level, and a word-level visualization, supports the analysis from the overall training set to individual samples.

The vocabulary of the baseline model is expanded and tailored, reducing the resulting OOV rate. Results using different metrics (OOV rate, WER, precision and recall) show the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.

  We propose using the CommonVoice dataset to create test sets for languages with a high out-of-vocabulary ratio. We then evaluate, within the context of a hybrid ASR system, how much better subword models are at recognizing OOVs. We propose a new method for modifying a subword-based language model so as to better recognize OOV-words.
